This is what happens when French luxury houses let themselves have fun instead of playing it safe. This 1988 belt came from Hermès’s “Tropiques” era when they were printing actual wildlife instead of playing it safe with logos. The carved gold buckle has western energy but make it French. Collectors lose their minds over these safari print belts because Hermès barely touches this aesthetic anymore. Either you get it or you don’t.   This belt shows signs of wear, pictures are true to life.
